The same writer made a study
of bias in "public" schools for
boys, last year, finding that the
results "did not show up our
tradition of educational toler-
ance in a very . favorable light."
At the Sherborne School for

ADL Cites Gains
Made by Kennedy,
Inaction of Congress
Civil rights in 1961 were
marked by "dramatic gains"
achieved through federal execu-
tive action and "clear losses
resulting from Congressional in-
action, according to a year-en
analysis issued by the B
Brith Anti-Defamation Lea
The report lauded Presi
Kennedy for "the imagin ye
vigor with which he used oth
the authority and prestige his
office to further the ca e of
that
civil rights," but assert
his decision not to pr s for
the
civil rights legislation

1961 Congress was a "k
appointment to civil ights
leaders."
Taking issue with A ney

"the failure to legislate lef
gap that could not be fille
otherwise."
The report asserted that "If
this 87th Congress is to become
a civil rights Congress it will
have to make its mark in its
second half; for the first half
was barren. But unless Presi-
dent Kennedy takes a stronger
lead the prospects for civil
rights le g i s l a t i on are not
bright."
Anti-Jewish Incidents
Decreased in 1961
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Vandal-
ism against Jewish institutions in
New York City was far less' fre-
quent during 1961 than in the
previous year, a Jewish civic de-
fense agency reported, adding
this was true throughout the
United States.
The Anti - Defamation League
of Bnai Brith listed 11 cases of
swastika daubings, cemetery dese-
crations and synagogue vandal-
ism during 1961 and said this
was about one-tenth of the inci-
dents recorded in New York City
during 1960 after the neo-Nazi
desecration of a synagogue in
Cologne on Christmas Eve, 1959.
That desecration touched off
worldwide •smearings.
The ADL said that nationally
there were 158 such incidents re-
corded during 1961 compared to
814 during 1960. The organiza-
tion reported that most of such
activities have involved young
people and that there was no re-
liable inforrriation on how much
of it was due to simple vandalism
and how much from anti-Semitic
motives.
